In American Sign Language (ASL), the word "when" is shown with a specific sign. You use your non-dominant hand with the index finger up, palm facing in. Then, with your dominant hand, make a small circle around the tip of the non-dominant finger. This sign shows the idea of time or an event happening. ASL is a visual language using space and gestures to show meaning. The sign for "when" is often used in questions about timing. Beginners should practice the motion to communicate well. Understanding ASL's cultural details, like facial expressions, is also key.
